Hello mam,
I'm going to make attention to the highlighted part.
Quote:
Q1:
Do you think that THIS part is ''conclusion''?
Q1:
If we change the word ''unlikely'' to ''likely'' in choice A and B, then is there any chance to make the choice either A or B legit for this CR?

Would anyone please take a deep dive into option D?
What do "CONSEQUENCE" & "issue in the argument" mean here?
In my opinion, CONSEQUENCE= what will happen if the new plan is taken &
Issue in the argument= main talking point or mainly discussed issue in the argument.

Goal: To arrange required amount of money for public schools
Existing plan to arrange the money for public schools: imposing taxes on property
New plan to arrange the money for public schools: three percent tax on ALL retail sales in the city (First Bold face)
Critics: Money raised through three percent tax on CURRENT retail sales in the city will be less than the money raised through property tax.
[For example, assume money raised through existing plan i.e. property tax= $40 and CURRENT SALES=$1000. So, 3% of $1000=$30 which is less than money raised through existing plan- property tax (i.e. $40)]
Author: I admit that the amount of tax collected on the basis of current sales is smaller than money raised through property tax. However, since total sales amount in this city is going to increase substantially, 3% sales tax will collect sufficient fund for the public schools (SECOND BOLD FACE).
[From previous example, CURRENT SALES=$1000 and if the sales amount increases to $ 1500 in near future. So, 3% of $1500=$45 which is higher than money raised through existing plan-property tax (i.e. $40)]. i.e. the money raised through sales tax will be sufficient for funding the public the public schools]
In the last few lines the author said how the sales in the city will increase substantially (a large number of shoppers from neighboring municipalities will come to this city for shopping at lower sales tax).

A little math (though I believe we should NOT do maths in CR)
Money raised through existing plan i.e. property tax= $40
CURRENT SALES=$1000.
So, three percent sales tax (3% of $1000) is $30 which is less than money raised through existing plan- property tax (i.e. $40)]
if the sales amount increases to $ 1500 in near future (because it is highly probable that people from near municipalities will come in this city for shopping at lower tax rate),
sales tax (3% of $1500) will be $45 which is higher than money raised through existing plan-property tax (i.e. $40)]. i.e. the money raised through sales tax will be sufficient for funding the public the public schools]
What author said: the critics opinion is true on the basis of CURRENT sales. But, in consideration with ALL sales (including future prospects), the money raised through sales tax will be sufficient for funding the public the public schools.
